Robert Bond, the Bossier City man who pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the killing of his wife, Annie Bond, was sentenced in Bossier District court Tuesday to 40 years of hard labor.

Bond, 53, appeared in an inmate uniform and handcuffs in front of some 60 family members who gathered to hear Judge Mike Nerren's decision. A clerk passed a box of tissues through the audience, hoping to minimize distractions that might surface on an emotional day.
